Yin Yoga

Slow, sustained floor poses explore a comfortable stretch and awareness of body and breath. Props can help you adjust each pose; the focus differs from Restorative Yoga’s fully supported rest.

Find Your Fit

A practice shaped around your experience.

Pace: Slow, with longer-held floor poses

Experience: All experience levels; comfort with longer holds is helpful

Yin Yoga uses longer-held floor postures and a quiet, attentive pace. Choose the 60- or 75-minute practice, or explore Flow-Yin Fusion for a combination of moving sequences and sustained Yin poses. Props can help you adjust positioning and find a comfortable stretch. Yin emphasizes stretching and stillness; Restorative Yoga emphasizes supported rest with minimal muscular effort.

Our experienced instructors offer guidance and variations. Let your teacher know you are new, and choose the options that fit your body that day.

This practice is not a substitute for individualized medical or mental health care, physical therapy, or rehabilitation.

Read More about Yin Yoga (60 min)

Slow down with a quiet, meditative yoga practice featuring floor-based postures held for several minutes. Gentle, sustained stretches invite you to explore stillness, breath, and sensations in the body's connective tissues. Props and options support a comfortable experience and make this a valuable complement to more active movement.

Level: All levels.

In Yin Yoga, postures are usually held for several minutes, giving you time to notice breath, sensation, and the experience of stillness. Many poses are practiced close to the floor, with props or adjustments available for comfort. This slower practice complements more active classes and offers an opportunity to settle the mind while gently exploring mobility.

You'll be encouraged to settle into each posture with patience, adjusting whenever sensation becomes too intense. The aim is to cultivate a sustainable, attentive practice rather than chase maximum flexibility.

Read More about Flow-Yin Fusion

Experience a balance of movement and stillness in this class combining flowing yoga sequences with longer-held Yin postures. The active portion links breath and movement to develop warmth and mobility; the quieter portion invites gentle stretching, reflection, and relaxation. A thoughtful practice for both strength and ease.

Level: All levels; options available.

The class begins with a more active, breath-led flow to encourage warmth, strength, and mobility. It then shifts into slower, longer-held Yin postures, creating space for quiet reflection and gentle stretching. This combination offers both movement and rest within one practice. You can choose variations and props that suit your body, making the experience accessible whether you're new to yoga or have practiced for years.

The shift in pace is part of the experience: after moving with breath, you'll have time to settle into quieter shapes. Each portion offers a different way to practice awareness and ease.
